Saturday 19 November 2016 :
IT's That Time of Year again... For the Tarsorrhaphic, Thersitical, TRASHARAMA !!! The Facinorous Film Festival of shortness ( indicating length of individual films rather than height of actors featured )...Starting with some sort of stygian symbiotic suction with the 6th MonsterFest! Introduced by Ray Boseley, Director and writer of the nuke and puke masterpiece SMOKE ‘EM IF YOU GOT ‘EM, a long lost post-Ozpocalyptic classic.
Dick Dale has been creating short award-winning filthy films since 1993. Back In 1997 he founded the Trasharama agogo film festival, the nastiest film program in Oz, sourcing the most sick and twisted, goriest, bad taste horror shorts on this planet we call Earth. Spawned in a local rock dive followed by punk acts, it now premieres at Monster Fest annually and tours Australia as the ‘Roadkill Roadtrip tour’.
Dick’s other activities include being Trasharama's MC, punk rock vocalist, spoken word artist, film reviewer, roadie and worst barman. He is currently producing and directing Australia’s first Splatter Punk video nasty feature film, Ribspreader, which he wrote. Arkhamhaus creates posters for him anally....I ment annually.
AMG releases Bad Behaviour Under the Title Consequences to Amazon prime ( a membership program that gives customers access to streaming video, music, e-books, free shipping and a variety of other Amazon-specific services and deals) . Not the First Time Arkhamhaus' poster design has been reworked for offshore. At least the Americans stuck with the orig artwork. - I just don't understand why there's an explosion on an inverted street in the BG. :)
consequencekɒnsɪkw(ɘ)ns/nounplural noun: consequences 1. a result or effect, typically one that is unwelcome or unpleasant.
Cleopatra Films releases StalkHer to VOD in the US from October 21st.

2016 Trasharama agogo short film festival merchandise designed by Arkhamhaus Images.
Black T-shirts featuring in glorious gangrenous green mono-vision: Severed Sindee the un-dead Zombie Cheerleader and the acorporal ophiomormous Spine Grrl. Both Characters (altho Sindee retains her her lower body - possibly as a subtle safe consumption of alcohol message, see: Don't get leg-less) are also featured in full colour on the 2016 Trasharama stubby Coolers or Stubbie holders or whatever you want to call whats you put yur beer in. The ZombEye also makes a return to the Merch table in beer thingy format -- 5 mm neoprene Wall height: 110 mm, (-/+ 3% variability). Sold eXclusively at the Trasharama agogo short Film Festerval.
A stubby holder is a sleeve or cylinder designed to insulate a beverage, in its vessel, from external sources of heat. Stubby holders are called thus in Australia due to the term 'stubby' being used to describe a 375ml bottle of beer. The alternative form 'stubbie' is common in Australian and New Zealand English usage. North American labels for such a device don't count because they don't drink REAL BEER.

Humphrey B. Bear recently did his bit for the campaign by ABC Friends, concerned -but speechless- about diminishing funding for the broadcaster. ( Humphrey B Bear is an icon of Australian children's television. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) is Australia's state-owned and funded national public broadcaster. The reason for me posting this should become apparent in the coming months .)

Early promo artwork for this years Trasharama agogo short film festival
Altered the Clapper board Zombie girl by performing a Craniotomy on her frontal bone, as the character was way to similar to Sindee the undead cheerleader. Also added Jero the Toxic waste disposal guy - who carts Sindee in and out of the pseudo military storage facility each year (kinda a 2-4-5 Trioxin Dan O'Bannon thing). Returning characters featured are Sindee, obviously, Ortiz the Woof-boy: the Lycanthropic Cameraman, Mike: the sound guy from the black lagoon, the Zomb-Eye and KindliFresser scramblin' entertainment deamon.
Cinematic
Poster Art : Typically
posters include both textual and graphic elements,
although a poster can consist wholly of graphics
or of text. Posters are designed to be both
eye-catching and convey information. Posters may
be used for many purposes. They are a frequent
tool of advertisers (particularly of events,
musicians and films) the Content of this gallery
falls into the film category featuring theatre
release posters, pre
and post production concept posters for the German
(Aug 2012) release of
Bad Behaviour "Bösen Menschen passieren böse
Dinge", the Thai release of Bad
Behaviour (????????
?)and character
playbills.
Stalkher
(Queensland based feature film) Pre-production
Concept Posters as well as theatrical and home
entertainment (DVD cover) artwork are now
viewable.
Props
and Sculptures : The
difference between a set decoration and a prop is
use. If the item is not touched by a performer for
any reason it is simply a set decoration. If it is
touched by the actor in accordance to script
requirements or as deemed by the director, it is a
prop. Prop weapons (such
as handguns,
axes or even a fire
poker) read
well but lack the inherent danger of the 'real'
weapon and are almost always either non-operable
replicas, or have safety features to ensure they
are not dangerous. The increasing popularity of
movie memorabilia (a
broader term that now includes costumes) has added new meaning to the term
"prop," broadening its existence to include a
valuable after-life as a prized collector's item.
Typically not available until after a film's
premiere, movie props appearing on-screen are
christened "screen-used". Sculpture
involves 3-D artwork created by shaping or
combining materials such as stone,
metal, glass, or wood. Softer ("plastic")
materials can also be used, such as clay,
textiles, plastics, polymers and softer
metals.
Cartoon
Gallery : Title says it all
really. A cartoon is a form of
2D illustrated visual art. While the specific
definition has changed over time, modern usage
refers to a typically non-realistic or
semi-realistic drawing or painting intended for
satire, caricature, or humor, or to the artistic
style of such works. A
mobile Phone Logo, freehand promo
sketches, DIY Character designs, a drunken bear,
farm animals, fish, crustaceans, a trio of lab
rats, football club logos, and a slightly
xenoglosic pumpkin. Because of the stylistic
similarities between comic strips and early
animated movies, "cartoon" came to refer to
animation, and the word "cartoon" is currently
used to refer to both animated cartoons and gag
cartoons. While "animation" designates any style
of illustrated images seen in rapid succession
to give the impression of movement, the word
"cartoon" is most often used in reference to TV
programs and short films for children featuring
anthropomorphic animals, superheroes, the
adventures of child protagonists and related
genres..

the same format as the galleries,
these scribbles are works in progress
(remedial translation:I haven't
finished them yet), but don't
let that put you off, observing how

much value as say, watching paint dry
or trying to hit the arse end of a cow
with a banjo.
